Give him one last go on Sat. Heres the team I’d play Mugabi O’Donnell, Wilkinson, Bear, Shaw, Spittal Slattery, Davor, Gent Mika, Obika

To be fair to Kettlewell , he has assembled a championship squad for next season already.

Couple of photies from Hall of Fame night.

Having watched the highlights a couple of times now, my thoughts are that I can’t see any difference between Millers red card and Wilkinson getting booked for diving. Can’t really see any difference. Also, looks like the Livi guy that Miller ‘caught’ was running towards another Well player rather than the goal. VAR needs changed from Clear and Obvious to Give the Ref another look.

Need to get Slatts and Spits signed up on long term contracts. Looking forward also to having a striker on the pitch that actually looks like scoring. Not sure which one of our 5 that will be.

Is that not EVERYONE we sign

Surprised and disappointed to see Blakey on the bench. Maybe has a niggle?

I literally cannot wait to see him in action now.

Yesterday was almost the strongest side we could half fielded, probably bar Butcher and the new boy. We were poor. I thought the back 3 were pretty solid. O’Donnell was fine, however we need 2 proper wing backs. Midfield was fine. Slattery looks more interested. Miller had a decent first half. Spittal tried his best to get into the game. up front, 2 in 3 Obika shouldn’t be a first pick. 2 really bad misses. Even his goal was a poor shot that took a wicked deflection. Wilkinson. Hmmm. Really not sure. Seemed to be running in treacle and I didn’t remember him having a single shot. Hopefully will rise Porter-esq and become a hero. needs RWB, LWB, Striker (possibly x2) Ideal scenario Mugabi/Lambie out, McGinley, Maguire, Shields out. Then see if any gems available later in the window.

Good luck at Clyde.

I have room in my car for 4. I can take Morris, Maguire, McGinley and Shields and drop them off wherever a full tank of diesel will take me.

from BBC Motherwell v Ross County: Pick of the statspublished at 12:10 18 May 12:10 18 May IMAGE SOURCE, BBC SPORT Motherwell's Blair Spittal has provided four assists for Kevin van Veen in the Scottish Premiership this season – no player has assisted a team-mate more often this term. Ross County have won their last two league games, as many as they had in their previous 10 (D1 L7). They last won three in a row in March 2022, which included an away win against Motherwell. Motherwell are looking to win three consecutive Premiership games while keeping a clean sheet each time for the first time since May 2021. Just one of the last 14 league matches between Motherwell and Ross County have been drawn (8 Motherwell wins, 5 Ross County), although it was the last such match at Fir Park (1-1 in January). Motherwell have won three of their last four league meetings with Ross County (D1), after having lost three of their previous four beforehand (W1). Finishing seventh 'massive' for Motherwell finances, says Kettlewellpublished at 10:59 18 May 10:59 18 May Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell says finishing top of the Premiership’s bottom half would be a “huge” boost to his budget. The seventh-place Steelmen are a point clear of Livingston with three matches left, starting with Ross County's visit to Fir Park on Saturday. “It helps the football club, it’s as simple as that. If we can hopefully cement our league placing it is massive for us, it is huge,” said Kettlewell. “There isn’t an endless supply of money. So it’s about us being as proactive as we can with our business, our placings in the league. “There’s only a couple of ways a club can improve the finance they bring in – you either sell a player, you go on a cup run, or you have a good league placing. “You want to freshen up the squad and put your own stamp on it, but the ability to do that can be limited at times, so the more I can bring in with a league placing, that helps those scenarios.” Kettlewell is braced for a “bruising encounter” against his former club County as Motherwell seek to continue their fine form with a third straight win. “We’re going to face a County side that are off the back of a couple of good victories and I can see it being a really tough, physical game,” he added. “You look at the top of the form table and that’s a huge incentive for us. “You look at the form table over the last six games and we sit top of that just now, along with Aberdeen and Celtic, which is a huge achievement at this stage for our club. “I want to add to that and the players have a real aspiration to do so as well. Just finish the season as best we possibly can.” Kettlewell on not easing off, McGinley return & Johnston futurepublished at 09:51 18 May 09:51 18 May Scott Mullen, BBC Sport Scotland Stuart Kettlewell has been speaking to the media before Motherwell's Premiership game with Ross County this weekend. Here are the key lines from the Fir Park boss: Motherwell's form gives hope for next season and Kettlewell believes his side can still get better. They are still going to be competitive in the three remaining games despite being safe. Finishing seventh is financially important to the club. He is delighted to have Nathan McGinley back in light training. The defender has been out for 14 months and got a round of applause from players when he returned, but still has a long way to go. The club has made its best offer to Max Johnston and there’s no issues over the fact he is yet to decide his future. Kettlewell can't confirm or deny reports Johnston has visited Norwich's training ground, but says he would have expected to be informed by the player or his agent if it was true.

Personally, I love the way they’ve done this, graphics wise. Will help when we bin Morris, so we at least know what he looks like.

I’m sure this is a misquote. Was it not a bat?

I believe VAR goes back to the start of the phase, like you say. This is generally when the ball is moving forward.

Morris.

This is a good result to show us that we still nee to cull and recruit for next season. onwards friends.

OK, you’ve all swung me round. We’ll keep him assuming he’s not on huge wages. Good squad player.

from the OOC players: No - O'Donnell, Carroll, ,McGinn, Goss, Efford Maybe - Cornelius, Aitchison, McKinstry (if he fits with next seasons plans), Mandron, Obika Yes - Johnston, Casey From the signed players: Punt - Lamie, Mugabi, McGinley & Morris.

She’s celebrating working for us already.

I don’t think Hammell should be sacked. I think we should sign him up on a long term deal.

We are winning today. I have a feeling in my water, although that could be last nights beers.

Good luck to Burrows. I have no issues. However, he’ll be a legend if he takes Hammy & Kerr with him.
